This article is about an older version of DF.

In Dwarf Fortress, creatures are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-Template:L) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like Template:L to evil monsters like Template:L. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

Reading the Table

Tile	Name	Playable	Hostile	Food Source	Adult Body Size	Pet Value (×)	Biome	Features

The above columns indicate, in order:

Symbol: The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

Name: The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

Hostile: If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly. Template:L creatures are always hostile.

Food Source: If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

Adult Body Size: The average size of the creature when an adult. This can be anywhere from 5,000 (Template:L, Template:L) to 25,000,000 (Template:L). Equals more or less the creature's weight in gramms. These sizes do not correspond to the sizes which trigger Template:Ls. It is modified with height and broadness (ie. incredible skinny and short is below the average weight, while a fat and tall one is above it).

Pet Value: This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a Template:L during Template:L.

Biome: Where the creature can be found.

Features: Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as Template:L, Template:L, or Template:L.

Main Races

Tile	Name	Hostile	Food Source	Adult Body Size	Pet Value (×)	Biome	Features
☺	Template:L	No	No	60,000	Not tameable	Fortresses	Trading race
e	Template:L	Variable¹	No	60,000	Not tameable	Forest retreats	Trading race
g	Template:L	Variable¹	No	60,000	Not tameable	Dark fortresses	Babysnatchers
U	Template:L	Variable¹	No	70,000	Not tameable	Towns and cities	Trading race
k	Template:L	Variable¹	No	20,000	Not tameable	Caves	Skulking race

1. Whether or not you are hostile with select civilized races is randomized for every game world.

Animalman Races

Note: These creatures can form crude civilizations underground but will not trade with you. They wield some weapons and can join adventurers.

Tile	Name	Hostile	Food Source	Adult Body Size	Pet Value (×)	Biome	Features
a	Template:L	Variable¹	Yes	20,000	Not tameable	Underground	Amphibious
a	Template:L	Variable¹	Yes	Variable²	Not tameable	Underground	Four castes
b	Template:L	Variable¹	Yes	70,000	Not tameable	Underground	Can fly
f	Template:L	Variable¹	Yes	70,000	Not tameable	Underground	Amphibious
s	Template:L	Variable¹	Yes	70,000	Not tameable	Underground	Can fly
o	Template:L	Variable¹	Yes	70,000	Not tameable	Underground	Amphibious
r	Template:L	Variable¹	Yes	50,000	Not tameable	Underground	Amphibious
r	Template:L	Variable¹	Yes	40,000	Not tameable	Underground
s	Template:L	Variable¹	Yes	50,000	Not tameable	Underground	Amphibious; Causes Template:L

1. Whether a animalman civilization treats you as hostile or not seems random, though this has not been tested.^[Verify]

2. Antmen body sizes depend on their caste.
